Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 449

THIC Nice was dumbfounded. “How can this be?

They’d fallen into crisis after being targeted by the Murrays and had finally found a way to solve it. But now KW Corporation was coming after them too?

What had she even done to offend them? As far as she knew, she hadn’t done anything.

“First you offended the Murrays, causing our family to be targeted and dismissed from our positions. And now you’ve gone and offended KW Corporation. I swear I’m going to beat you up, you jinx!”

In his rage, Frank grabbed a wooden stick and started beating Alice up. He was practically spitting flames from his eyes.

“Argh!” Alice screamed and sobbed in pain. It was a sorry sight to see.

“Dad, please stop hitting me… I–I don’t even know anyone from KW Corporation? How could I possibly have offended them?”

KW Corporation was one of the top four global financial conglomerates. How could she possibly dare

offend them?

“You tell me! They specifically mentioned you by name, saying you offended someone you shouldn’t have. Are you trying to say that KW Corporation is trying to slander you?

“You jinx! You caused our company to go bankrupt, and now you’ve landed us in heavy debt! Tell me how I’m supposed to pay it off!”

Molly’s expression darkened at his words. She slapped Alice over and over again.

“You landed our company in this state, yet you still dared demand things from me! You made me waste five million dollars buying Chanel’s latest fashion… I’m going to beat you to death, you jinx!”

“Argh! Don’t hit me anymore…”

Alice cried bitterly at the beating she was receiving. She was a complete mess, but no matter how much she pleaded, her parents didn’t let up in the slightest. In fact, they beat her even harder.

As she endured the incredible pain going through her body, her heart burned with hatred.

This was all that bitch Yvette’s fault! If not for her, would she have been reduced to this mess? No, she

couldn’t admit defeat like this! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Alice chewed on her lip. Her eyes darkened. She had to think of a way to get Victoria to help her one more >> time, or she was doomed!

“Stop the car.”

A cold but pleasant female voice rang out. Her tone was mild yet gave off an oppressive feeling.

The men in the car were stunned by the imposing air she gave off.

‘As expected of the captain’s sister! She’s more imposing than the captain!” they silently thought to

themselves.

Come on, please don’t make things difficult for us, Yvie. The captain ordered us to escort you home. If we don’t complete the mission he gave us, we’ll be punished!”

“That’s right! You don’t know how harsh the captain’s punishments are, Yvie!”

“Yeah, we really don’t want to be punished! Please Yvie just take pity on us!”

“I’ll speak to Adam about it,” said Yvette. “You guys won’t be punished.”

The men were in a dilemma. “But…”

Yvette spoke up again without waiting for them to finish. “Don’t forget, you guys still owe me.”

They immediately became serious at that. Indeed, they still owed Yvette two huge favors. If it hadn’t been for her help back then, they wouldn’t have caught the drug trafficking leader so quickly.

There was also the medicine she had developed. Any injuries they received from carrying out missions would recover much faster thanks to it, which was a big help to them.

“Alright, we’ll send you there, Yvie! But remember, don’t tell the captain that we were the ones who got you there!”

Yvette nodded. “No problem.”

“Hail Yvie!”
